[R] deparse: replacing all " by \"

[Jose Claudio Faria]

Dear list,

I need to use the function "deparse" in a specific situation.
But, it always replace any occurence of " by \".

For example:

> arg <- deparse(args(cov), width.cutoff = 100L)[1]

> arg
[1] "function (x, y = NULL, use = \"everything\", method =
c(\"pearson\", \"kendall\", \"spearman\")) "

Some characters added by deparse are not desirable: \ before all " and
final space.

How is the best way to get the result (using deparse) clean like below?
[1] "function (x, y = NULL, use = "everything", method = c("pearson",
"kendall", "spearman"))"

Any help is welcome!

Best,
--
